All Reviews for Outdoor Activities

I participated alone. Since my hotel was not included in the shuttle service, I rented a car to the shop, anticipating morning traffic. I parked in a free space at a nearby port.

On the way, the sea conditions were good, and I arrived at Chibishi without getting seasick. The abundant coral was soothing. I thought the half-day course might be too short, but I was able to enjoy it thoroughly.

ひとりで参加しました。送迎対象外のホテル宿泊でしたので、朝の渋滞を見込んでレンタカーでショップまで。近くの港のフリースペースに駐車しました。
道中、海のコンディションも良く船酔いせずにチービシへ到着。もりもりのサンゴに癒されました。半日コースは短いかな？と思っていましたが、十分満喫できました。

The guide shared a lot of interesting facts while showing us around, which made it enjoyable. We were able to see many creatures like hermit crabs, bats, and crabs. Even as a beginner, I had a great time paddling. It was a wonderful experience!

ガイドのお兄さんが豆知識をたくさん紹介しながら案内してくれたので楽しかったです。
ヤドカリ、コウモリ、カニなど生き物もたくさん見られました。
初心者でしたが楽しく漕ぐことができました。
とても良い経験でした！

The weather was nice, and I could hear the chirping of birds and cicadas. It was enjoyable to see various flowers and fish! I felt very relaxed as we leisurely moved along while listening to the guide. ^_^

天気も良く、鳥やセミの鳴き声が聞こえ、色んな花や魚も見る事が出来て楽しかったです！
ガイドを聞きながらのんびり進むのでとても癒されました^_^

They provide transportation to the hotel! The guides kept the atmosphere lively in the car and gave various explanations during the tour, making it a lot of fun. I was able to see rare island hermit crabs, which was a wonderful experience!

ホテルまで送迎をしてくれます！車内でもガイドの方々が盛り上げてくださったり、ツアー中も様々な説明をしてくださるので、とても楽しかったです。レアな島のヤドカリを見ることができ、とても良い経験ななりました！

First, it's great that you can take a bus directly from the accommodation to the trailhead. I appreciated that the guide took many photos for us.

However, there were quite a few concerning points.

1. The dedicated bus also had customers from other companies. Each group departed and returned separately. At the beginning of the hike, the guide mentioned that since it was a dedicated bus, we could take our time. I thought it was going to be a relaxed tour. However, since the other group's return was earlier, I felt rushed to return as well, likely to avoid keeping that group waiting for too long. Even though my feet hurt and I couldn't walk quickly, the guide walked ahead alone. In contrast, I noticed that other guides were walking at a pace that matched their customers while providing various explanations. I was honestly surprised to see a guide moving ahead and leaving the customers behind. It was disappointing, and I felt there was a lack of consideration.

By the way, it seems that buses from the trailhead run until 6 PM. So, for those who want to walk at their own pace, you should be able to catch this bus. Therefore, if you prefer to go at your own pace, this tour may not be suitable for you, as you will have to keep up with the other group, making it quite tough in the latter half if you go slowly.

2. The enjoyment of this tour varies depending on the guide.

The male guide in his 60s who was in charge seemed to lack deep knowledge about nature overall. He provided brief explanations of famous spots at key points, but for other topics, he often didn't share information unless asked. There were also instances where he didn't know the answers to my questions. I overheard other guides providing much deeper explanations. I felt I had a rather unfortunate experience with this guide.

We specifically paid for a guide because we wanted to learn various things. I would like all guides to be thoroughly educated to provide information that matches the cost. When you end up with a guide who isn't knowledgeable, it doesn't differ much from going on your own and researching information. I felt it was a waste of money.

During the hike, I wanted to learn more about Yakushima's nature, but most of the conversation revolved around his personal life. Honestly, I wished he would refrain from such discussions while we were hiking in Yakushima. I wanted to ask about plants and animals, but he seemed to lack knowledge in that area, which was very disappointing. Additionally, I felt that because we were in our 20s, he spoke to us in a casual tone rather than using polite language. While that was fine, there were several moments where his tone was quite harsh and intimidating. There was a moment when I wanted to take photos at a certain spot, but he suddenly said in a stern tone that if we didn't hurry, we wouldn't get to take pictures, which made me feel rushed. I was surprised because I expected the guide to inform us about the pace from the beginning and lead us accordingly. I thought he lacked consideration in this regard as well.

Moreover, it seemed that the guide smoked during the hike, and the smell was a bit strong.

If you want to learn a lot about Yakushima, I recommend booking with a service where you can find out in advance how much information the guides possess, rather than this one.

If you think you might get lost on the way to Jomon Sugi or want someone to take photos for you, this tour might be a good option.

まず、宿から登山口までバスで直接行けること。
写真をたくさん撮ってくれたことはガイドさんを付けて良かったと思いました。

しかし、少々気になる点が多かったです。

1.専用バスには、他の会社から申し込まれたお客さんもいらっしゃっいました。それぞれの会社のグループで出発し帰ってきます。歩き始めの頃には、専用バスなのでゆっくり進もう。とガイドさんから言われていたので余裕のあるツアーで良いなと思っていました。しかし、他のグループの帰りが早く、そのグループをバスで長く待たせない為だと思いますが、早く帰るよと急かされるようになりました。足が痛く、早く歩けなくても、ガイドさんはスタスタと先に1人で歩いて行ってしまいました。他のグループを見てみると、ガイドさんは色々な説明をしながら、お客さんに合わせて歩いていました。
ガイド1人が先にドンドン進んでお客を置いていくという状況に正直ビックリしました。残念でした。配慮が足りないのではと思います。

ちなみに、登山口から帰りのバスは18時まで出ているようです。ゆっくり自分のペースで歩きたい方でも、このバスに間に合うはずです。そのため、自分のペースで進みたい方は、このツアーを申込むべきではありません。他のグループに合わせないといけなくなるため、ゆっくり進むと後半かなりきつくなります。

2.このツアーはガイドさんによって楽しさが変わってきます。

担当してくれた60代の男性ガイドさんは、自然のことなど全体的に知識が深くないようでした。要所要所で有名スポットの説明は軽くしてくれますが、他のことは、自分から聞かないと教えてくれないことが多かったです。また、聞いても知らないようで教えてくれなかったこともありました。他のガイドさんは、かなり深い説明をしているのを通りすがりに聞くことができました。かなりハズレのガイドさんだったと思います。

わざわざお金を払ってガイドをお願いしています。色々な事を知りたいからお願いしているんです。それに見合った勉強をガイドさん全員に徹底してもらいたいです。ハズレのガイドさんが当たったときには、自分で色々な情報を調べて個人で行くのと大差ありません。お金の無駄だと思いました。

登山中は、屋久島の自然について色々聞きたかったのですが、ほとんどがプライベートの話をされました。屋久島まで来て、登山をしているときに、そのような話は正直やめてほしかったです。植物や動物のことなど自然のことを色々聞きたかったのですが、知識があまり無いような方で、大変残念でした。
また、私たちが20代女性だったからだと思いますが、敬語ではなくタメ口で話されました。それは良いのですが、かなり口調がきつく、怖い印象を受ける場面がいくつかありました。写真を撮りたい場所があったのですが、急にキツイ口調で、早く辿り着かないと写真撮らないよみたいなことを言われ、すごく急かされた場面がありました。そういうことは、ガイドさんが最初からペースのことを教えてくれ、導いてくれるのかと思っていたので急に言われびっくりしました。ここでも、配慮の足りない方だと思いました。

また、ガイドさんが登山中タバコを吸われる方だったようで、少々匂いがきつかったです。

屋久島のことを多く学びたい方は、ここで申し込むのではなく、ガイドさんがどれだけの情報を持っているのか前もって分かるところから申し込んだ方がいいかと思います。

縄文杉までの道に迷いそうな方。写真を撮ってくれる人が欲しい。という方はこのツアーに申し込んでもいいかもしれません。

Since high waves were expected, I went snorkeling near Barasu Island in the morning. In the afternoon, I did stand-up paddleboarding (SUP) in the mangroves of Iriomote Island. I was thrilled to see schools of fish that I had never seen before while snorkeling. The mangrove tour in the afternoon allowed me to feel the great outdoors, and I really enjoyed it. The tour instructor was also very kind, making for a very satisfying trip!

波が高いと予想されていたので、午前中にバラス島近辺でシュノーケリング。
午後は西表島のマングローブでSUP
シュノーケリングでは見たことのない魚たちの群れを見ることができて大感激でした。
午後のマングローブツアーでは大自然を感じることができ、とてもENJOYできました。
ツアーのインストラクターの方もとても親切で大満足な旅でした！

On my first visit to Yakushima, there were so many places I wanted to see. I wondered if I could walk for 11 hours, but the sense of accomplishment when I completed the ambitious course was indescribable. Of course, Jomon Sugi was amazing, but even the scenery along the way was wonderful. I walked at quite a pace, and although my stay was short, I think it's great for those who want to see a lot in a limited time. However, it can be quite tiring. I don't think it's suitable for those who want to take their time, but since I wanted to be efficient, I thought it was a good tour.

初めての屋久島で沢山見たいところがありました。11時間も歩けるかな？と思いながらも欲張りコースを歩ききった時の達成感はなんとも言えません。縄文杉なども勿論素晴らしかったですが、ただ歩いているその辺の景色も素晴らしい。結構なペースで歩きましたが、滞在時間が少な行けど、あれもこれも行きたい人には良いかなと思います。ただそこそこしんどいと思います。ゆっくりまわりたい人には向かないと思いますが、私は効率よく回りたかったので良いツアーだったと思います。

The entire event was well planned & organised, no doubt they are professionals. The boat ride, snorkeling, scuba diving & 'SUICAWARI', we enjoyed every moment to the fullest.
Only suggestion would be to provide for a vegetarian or a vegan lunch option.
Would definitely like do it again.
Thank you for the memorable experience.

It was a wonderful tour blessed with the best weather! During the island snorkeling with the banana boat, I was able to see a lot of fish, and the guides were very kind! I was extremely satisfied with the Kerama Blue. It was a memorable day!

最高の天気に恵まれ素晴らしいツアーでした❗バナナボートでの離島シュノーケリングではたくさんのお魚を見ることができ、ガイドの方々もとっても親切でした❗ケラマブルーに大満足。思い出に残る一日でした❗

We were a family of three Japanese people, but for some reason, our guide was an American woman with three years of experience. I expressed my hopes and my lack of confidence in my stamina in the car on the way there, mentioning that I wanted some time to enjoy the scenery at our favorite spots. After having lunch, we were told that the bus would depart at 6 PM, which made me think we had plenty of time. However, in the second half of the tour, we were constantly rushed, and in the end, we missed the last bus by 30 seconds. I believe it would have been different with a more experienced guide. It was a bit disappointing since we chose a private tour that was more expensive than others, investing a lot of money and time.

日本人3人家族でしたが、なぜかアメリカ人のガイド経験3年の女性でした。
気に入ったポイントで景色をゆっくり見る時間もほしいなど、こちらの希望や体力にあまり自信がないことを行きの車の中で伝えました。
お弁当を食べてから、出発は6時のバスでとのことで余裕あるのかと思いましたが、後半は終始急かされてしかも30秒最終バスに間に合わないという結果になりました。
もう少し経験豊富なガイドさんなら違ったと思います。大金と時間をかけて行くので、他より高いプライベートツアーにしたのに少し残念でした。

Thank you to the instructor who was kind to my free-spirited 5-year-old and the 5-year-old who didn't take to snorkeling, resembling Narumiya! Taking the boat was indeed easy. I was told that the early morning snorkeling is recommended, but even on the 10 AM tour, the Blue Cave was beautiful. The shower after returning was also comfortable. The photos taken for us became great memories.

自由気ままな5歳児にも、シュノーケルが合わなかった5歳児にも優しく接してくれた′成宮′似のインストラクターさんありがとう！
やはりボートで行くのは楽チンです。朝一のシュノーケリングがオススメとの事ですが10時集合コースでも青の洞窟は綺麗でした。戻ってからのシャワーも快適です。撮って貰った写真も良い思い出になりました。

I visited Iriomote Island for the first time this time. I chose this tour where we could experience both the sea and mangroves in a limited time, and it was a great decision!
With the help of a kind guide, my family and I were able to share many first-time emotions together!
We took a lot of pictures, and since we usually don't take family photos, it became the best memory! I think this tour is highly recommended as we were able to fully enjoy the great nature of Iriomote Island with the seawater, freshwater, and greenery!

今回初めて西表島を訪れました。限られた時間の中で海もマングローブも出来るこちらのツアーを選びましたが大正解！
親切なガイドさんのもと親子で初の感動を沢山共有できました！
写真も沢山撮っていただけて普段なかなか家族で写真を撮ることがないので最高の思い出です！海水に淡水に緑にと西表島の大自然を目一杯楽しめてすごくおススメのツアーだと思います！！

There are several instructors available, so they can pay attention to each individual customer. Beginners can participate with peace of mind.

When it comes to underwater photography, you can communicate your timing preferences to the assigned instructor in advance, allowing for flexible adjustments.

This time, due to the impact of the typhoon, the one-day plan was shortened to half a day. The snorkeling points were also changed from three to two, and the time spent at each point was reduced. However, there was no specific refund policy for snorkeling. I think it would be good to acknowledge this in advance before participating.

何人かのインストラクターがついてくださるので、ひとりひとりの客に目が行き届いています。初心者でも安心して参加できます。

水中撮影の際に、タイミングなどを事前に担当インストラクターに希望することで臨機応変に対応して頂けます。

今回は台風の影響で1日かけるプランが半日となりました。シュノーケリングポイントも3から2に変更のうえ、各ポイントの滞在時間も短くなりました。ですがシュノーケリングの場合一部返金などの対応は特にありませんでした。ここを事前に了承してからご参加されると良いと思います。

The past five years have been the toughest both mentally and physically.

However, I experienced a lot of inspiration and deepened bonds with my friends.

If you're Japanese, I highly recommend climbing Mount Fuji and trekking in Yakushima!

Absolutely recommended! ^_^

ここ5年で一番精神的にも肉体的にもキツかった。。

ただ、たくさんの感動と仲間の絆が深まった。

日本人なら富士山登山と屋久島トレッキングを！

超絶オススメ^_^

[Meeting] I was worried about being late for the 8:50 meeting time, so I called but couldn't get through. I arrived at the meeting place, the ski resort, feeling anxious. There were other participants waiting, but I couldn't find any staff, and we exchanged looks as if to confirm we were in the right place. Around 9:00, the staff arrived and kindly confirmed the participants and gave instructions for changing clothes. There might be a misunderstanding between the booking site, Veltra, and the Blue Marble staff, so I hope that can be improved.

[Preparation] We moved to the preparation area in our cars. There, we borrowed and put on life jackets, helmets, and shoes. We received a thorough lecture on how to use the paddles. We moved our cars to the finish point, then returned with the staff's vehicle to the starting point.

[Travel] We loaded the boat onto a wheeled cart and moved through the bushes for about five minutes. Along the way, there was an adventure where we had to grab a rope to descend a steep cliff, which delighted the kids while the dads stumbled. The starting point had a gentle river flow, and we practiced paddling and turning before starting the rafting.

[Fun] With low water levels, we floated down the river while enjoying the staff's fun talk. At one point, we charged into a waterfall with a hot spring, repeating it five times upon request. After that, we arrived at the dive point, where we jumped into the river from rocks about 2m and 10m high. Even the 2m jump was quite scary. We were allowed to jump as much as we wanted, and soon we reached the finish point. Once we finished, the staff set up a changing tent on the shore. After settling payments and purchasing photos, the process was complete. We finished before noon, so it was effectively about an hour of rafting. It was a lot of fun.

[Photos] I purchased a DVD of the photos taken by the photographer. After returning home and looking at them, while there were some interesting river landscapes, the camera and subjects were far away, so the expressions weren't clear. There was also a note about joining the boat, which was a bit disappointing.

[Others] Veltra's site states that the meeting and disbanding locations are at the ski resort, but the disbanding location was at the finish point. Since I received an explanation during the meeting, I didn't have any issues, but as a first-time participant, I was quite anxious, so I hope accurate information can be provided.

【集合】集合時刻8:50ギリギリになりそうだったので電話してもつながらず、不安になりながら集合場所のスキー場に到着。参加者と思われる方々が待っていましたが、スタッフさんは見当たらず、お互いにここでいいんですよね、的なアイコンタクト。9:00頃スタッフさん到着。参加者の確認と着替えの指示を丁寧にしてくれました。もしかして、申し込みサイトのベルトラ さんとブルーマーブルスタッフさんの認識に違いがあるのかもしれないので、そこは改善してほしいです。
【準備】各自の車に乗って準備地点へ移動。そこで、ライフジャケット、ヘルメット、靴などを借りて装着。パドルの使い方など、ひと通りレクチャーを受けました。各自の車をゴール地点に移動させ、スタッフさんの車で戻り、いざスタート地点へ移動。
【移動】ボートを車輪付きの台に乗せ、５分ほど藪の間を移動。途中、急な崖を張られたロープを掴んで降りるアドベンチャーもあり、子供は喜び、親父は転ぶ。スタート地点は川の流れが穏やかで、乗り込んでパドルの漕ぎ方や転回などを練習し、ラフティングスタート。
【遊ぶ】水量が少なく、穏やかに川を下りながら、スタッフさんの楽しいトークとともに進む。途中、温泉を被る滝に突っ込み、希望もあり５回繰り返す。その後、ダイブポイントに到着。２mと１０m位の岩の上から川ダイブ。２mでも結構怖かったです。好きなだけ跳ばせてもらい、程なくゴール地点。ゴールしたら、スタッフさんが岸辺に着替えテントを張ってくれました。精算と写真の購入などを終えて工程終了。正午より前に終わったので、実質１時間位のラフティングでした。とても楽しかったです。
【写真】カメラマンさんが撮った写真をＤＶＤに焼いてくれたものを販売してくれたので購入。帰宅後見てみると、川の地形などもあるのでしょうが、カメラと被写体が遠くて表情ははっきりしませんでした。ボートに同乗してくれるという書き込みもあったので、少し残念。
【その他】ベルトラ さんのサイトには集合場所と解散場所がスキー場とありますが、解散場所はゴール地点でした。集合時に説明してもらったので困ることは何もありませんでしたが、申し込む側としては、初めてで不安だらけなので、正しい情報を載せてほしいなぁと思いました。

The instructor was amazing!! They were so friendly, and even though I was anxious about not being able to swim, I felt safe and had a great time! I was able to swim on my own and see the beautiful scenery with my own eyes, and not only that, I got to feed the fish and enjoy so many fun activities in the ocean! I was really happy to have so many beautiful photos taken!

インストラクターさん最高すぎる！！
親しみやすくて、泳げなくて不安だった私でも安心して楽しむことが出来ました！
自分で泳いでいって、自分の目で最高な景色を見せてもらえましたし、それだけでなく魚に餌やれたりと海での楽しみをたくさん満喫させていただきました！
すごく綺麗な写真をたくさんたくさん撮って頂いて大変嬉しかったです！

We had an amazing time! The staff were very friendly and kind, the boat was obviously well taken care of. For everything that’s included and the location you can’t beat the price!

I participated in a tour with RIZE Ishigaki Island! On the day of the tour, we encountered a brief rain shower, but the captain monitored the movement of the rain clouds and found great spots for us. Thanks to that, we were able to see Nemo (clownfish), and it was an incredibly satisfying snorkeling tour! There was also a shuttle service to the hotel, which made it easy to enjoy the experience without worries.

One piece of advice for those who will be going is that managing your health is important! Make sure to eat properly (about 70% full). I arrived in Ishigaki via an early morning flight from Okinawa, and due to timing issues, I participated in the snorkeling tour without eating much. I thought it would be better than overeating, but it turned out not to be the case. Meals can often be off-schedule while traveling, but I felt it was crucial to eat well before a sea tour.

RIZE石垣島さんのツアーに参加しました！
当日少しスコールにあいましたが船長さんが雨雲の動きをみていいスポットを探してくださいました。おかげでニモ（カクレクマノミ）も見れたしすごく満足なシュノーケリングツアーでした！ホテルまで送迎もあり、安心して楽しめました。ひとつこれから行かれる方にアドバイスとすれば、体調管理は大事です！食事はちゃんとしておくこと（腹７分程度に）私は朝一の飛行機で沖縄から経由して石垣着だったんですが、タイミングがずれたりで食事をあまりしないでシュノーケリングツアーに参加してしまいました。食べ過ぎよりいいかと思いましたが、ダメでした。旅行でいつもと違う感じで食事もズレがちですが、海のツアー前は大事だと感じました。

I participated with a friend. It was a clear day in late August, and the temperature was high. Besides us, there was only one young student couple around 20 years old, making it a small group.

We gathered before dawn and entered the mountains from Shiratani Unsuikyo, then after seeing Taiko Rock, we headed to the Jomon Sugi course, which required over 12 hours of hiking.

As a 30-year-old office worker who doesn't exercise much, it was quite tough, but I managed to keep up with the group and completed the hike. The limited time for the return bus made the descent particularly challenging as we had to move quickly. The next day, as expected, I was hit with severe muscle pain, which made the innkeeper laugh out loud.

Our guide was a man over 70, and it was impressive how smoothly he climbed. He was a bit quiet and didn't provide many explanations, but his experience was evident, and I felt secure following him.

There were moments when the rain intensified (which I believe is normal for Yakushima hiking), but overall the weather was good, and I had a great time. If I have the opportunity, I would like to try an overnight course next time.

友人と２人で参加しました。８月下旬のよく晴れた日で、気温も高かったです。我々の他には、20歳前後の若い学生カップルが１組いるのみで、少人数のグループでした。
朝は真っ暗なうちから集合し、白谷雲水峡から入山して、太鼓岩を見たら縄文杉コースへ、という流れで、12時間以上の登山が必要です。
30歳の特に運動もしていないオフィスワーカーにはなかなかきつかったですが、グループの足を引っ張ることもなく、何とか歩ききることができました。
帰りのバスの時間が限られているので、特に下山する時のペースが速かったのがきつかったです。翌日は予想通り激しい筋肉痛になって民宿のおっちゃんに爆笑されました。
ガイドさんは70歳超えの男性でしたが、スイスイと登っていくのがすごかったです。無口な方なのか、あまり多くの解説はありませんでしたが、ベテラン感がすごく、安心して着いていくことができました。
途中雨が強くなるなどしましたが（屋久島登山では普通のことと思いますが）、全体的に天気もよく、とても楽しめました。機会があれば今度は泊まりコースに挑戦してみたいです。

I had a great time with plenty of paddling! They explained things along the way and took photos for us, making it a more fulfilling and enjoyable experience than I expected! I highly recommend it.

結構たっぷり漕ぐ時間があって楽しかったです！道の途中で説明してくれたり、写真もとってくれたり、思っていたより充実の楽しい時間を過ごせました！おすすめです。

The person in charge was very kind, and it turned out to be a fun tour! They took a lot of photos for us! It became a great memory! Thank you!

担当してくださった方はとてもよくしてくださり、楽しいツアーになりました！写真もたくさん撮ってくださいました！いい思い出になりました！ありがとうございます！

I participated in this tour on the day of heavy rain, May 18. Fortunately, we were able to reach Jomon Sugi, but on the way back, there were places where the road had collapsed due to rising water. While other hikers were turning back, our guide proceeded without hesitation through the waterfall-like path, leading us forward. By the time we returned to the hiking trail, the water had risen to knee level in some areas. Just when we thought we could relax after getting back to the trail and boarding the bus, we found ourselves blocked by a fallen tree, preventing the bus from moving forward. In that situation, our guide took the initiative to go outside and cut the fallen tree with a saw. When we had to spend the night on the bus, the guide went out in the heavy rain to find a way back and called for help. Throughout the return from Jomon Sugi, the guide supported not only us but everyone else, continuously moving without rest. Their decisiveness and ability to take action were remarkable. Thanks to them, I was able to follow along with peace of mind. If it weren't for our guide... I am truly filled with gratitude. Thank you very much. Next time, I want to take on the Shiratani Unsuikyo challenge again.

このツアーに参加させていただいたのは、5月18日の豪雨の日でした。
ラッキーなことに縄文杉までは行くことができましたが、帰りは増水により道が決壊している場所もありました。他の登山者が引き返してくる中ガイドさんは何の躊躇もなく滝のようになった道を突き進み先導してくれました。登山道まで戻ってくる頃には膝上まで水が上がってきているところもありました。登山道まで戻ってきてバスに乗り込んでホッとしたのもつかの間。倒れた大木で道を塞がれてしまいバスが前に進めない状況。そんな中ガイドさんは率先して外に出てくれ、倒れた大木をノコギリで切ってくれました。またバスの中で一夜を過ごすことになった時も、ガイドさんが豪雨の中外に出
てくれて帰れる道を探してくれたり、助けを呼びに行ってくれました。縄文杉の帰りから私たちだけではなく、他の皆のこともサポートしてくれ、休むことなくずっと動いてくれていました。決断力と行動力が素晴らしい方でした。おかげで安心してついていくことができました。ガイドさんがいなかったら…。本当に感謝の気持ちでいっぱいです。ありがとうございました。
次回は白谷雲水峡をリベンジしたいです。

Unfortunately, the weather was rainy on the first day, so we started with the expectation of not seeing the stars. The guide also mentioned that it might not be good because of the clouds, but when we arrived at the stargazing point, we were able to see a magnificent starry sky spread out before us. I thought to myself, "This is what a perfect starry sky looks like." We were also able to see several shooting stars, which was moving. Additionally, we spotted owls, bats, coconut crabs, and hermit crabs, making the tour very enjoyable. Thank you very much.

あいにく1日雨が降ったりやんだりの天気だったので、星は諦めてのスタートでした。ガイドさんも雲が出てるからダメかなぁと言っていましたが、星空ポイントまで来るとなんと見事な星空が空一面に見る事が出来ました。満点の星空ってこーゆう事を言うんだなって思ったほどです。流れ星も何個も見る事ができ感動しました。他にフクロウやコウモリ、ヤシガニ、ヤドカリも見る事が出来とても楽しくツアーに参加することが出来ました。ありがとうございました。

We had an amazing time doing snorkeling through Kerama Islands.

During the 3 immersions we did we saw different species as turtles and even sharks!

Our instructors/guides, specially Nolan were very kind and friendly.

Recommended 100%!

We visited Yakushima for a family trip. My parents are in their 50s, and my children are in their 20s. Since our family doesn't usually exercise much, we were honestly exhausted, but I'm glad we went! I think it's a place everyone should visit at least once in their lifetime.

Also, we hired a private guide, which was very helpful as they adjusted to our pace.

屋久島は家族旅行で行きました。
50代の両親、20代の子供です。
普段から運動はあまりしない家族なので、正直バテバテですが、行って良かったです！
一生のうち、1回は行くべき所だと思います。

また、貸切ガイドにしたので、私達のペースに合わせてくれ、とても助かりました。

The guide was very friendly and interesting, and they took a lot of photos for us. They also taught us about the traces of animals and the plants. Without the guide, we might have just passed by some places, but we were able to stop and get explanations, making for a very fulfilling experience. I would love to come back at a different time!

とっても気さくで面白いガイドさんで、沢山写真も撮って頂きましたし、動物たちのいた形跡や植物についても教えて頂きました。
ガイドさんがいなければ素通りしてしまいそうなところで立ち止まって説明を頂けたので、非常に充実した時間でした。
また違う時期に来たいです！

The weather was not on our side, and due to rain from the morning, we couldn't go to Shiratani Unsuikyo as planned... However, despite the bad weather, thanks to our tour guide's arrangements, we were able to see Jomon Sugi! On the way back, I was worried that the heavy rain might cause the river to flood, but it turned out to be quite an experience trekking in such downpours, and there were some interesting moments.

The warm miso soup made by our guide warmed up my chilled body from the rain!

Next time, I want to take on Shiratani Unsuikyo again!

天気に恵まれず、朝から雨のため、予定していた白谷雲水峡は行けず・・・
しかし、なんとか悪天候の中、ツアーガイドさんの計らいもあって縄文杉は見に行きました！
帰りはどしゃぶりで川も氾濫するんじゃないかと心配でしたが、なかなか体験できない、土砂降りの中のトレッキングで、面白いところもありました

ガイドさんが作ってくれたあったかいお味噌汁が、雨で冷えた体を温めてくれました！

今度は白谷雲水峡をまたリベンジして行きたいです！

I participated with three friends. It was my first time kayaking, and I had some worries, but the tour guide was kind and funny, which made me very satisfied. I want to come back again.

友達3人で参加しました。
初めてのシーカヤックで不安なところもありましたが、ツアーのお兄さんが優しく面白く教えてくれて満足でした。またきたいです。

I participated in a half-day tour from Naha that included snorkeling in the Kerama Islands and two marine sports. I was simply amazed by the stunning blue of the sea! The contrast with the surrounding uninhabited islands with white sand created a wonderfully extraordinary view that was very soothing. The clear waters allowed me to enjoy a variety of colorful fish and corals while snorkeling. It was my first trip to Okinawa, and choosing this tour instead of just going to the beach was definitely the right decision. The staff were full of spirit and really enhanced the tour experience. The shuttle service to the hotel was also a nice touch. I’m looking forward to joining a full-day tour next time.

慶良間シュノーケリング＋マリンスポーツ2品、那覇発半日ツアーに参加。慶良間諸島の海、圧巻の青さにただ感動！周辺の白砂の無人島とのコントラストが素晴らしい非日常的な景色に癒されます。透明度の高い海では色とりどりの魚やサンゴがシュノーケリングでも充分楽しめました。初の沖縄旅行でしたがビーチではなくこのツアーにして大正解でした。スタッフの方達もサービス精神に溢れツアーを盛り上げてくれました。ホテルまでの送迎も嬉しいサービスです。次回は1日ツアーに参加したいと思っています。
